Mozza - Thank you for the article about Masters and Johnson. Wow, that really was an eye opener for me. Yes, life does get in the way of love, how I know that. This article also explained a lot about how we must show our spouses attention and create opportunities for engagement. How I wish I had know that then.
I was clueless that was what "emotonally connected" meant. I really was. Now that I think back on it, I could have done that so many times but did not "see" it for what it was. It was the same with her, there were so many times I wanted her to "feel what I was feeling", just to set down on the couch with me to watch a movie or engage in a passion that I was into.
So many lost opportunities to show love and empathy for each other. I can only pray that it's not too late.
Can you suggest methods to demonstrate this empathy now that we are separated? I am not looking for a magic bullet, but boy its much much harder now that we are not living together. Maybe it is through our children? Maybe it is how we start to respond to one another now with extra pleases and thank you's etc...
